Re: Oregon Trail 3rd Edition DVD - how to run on XP?

Hi Brandy,

Before doing anything, Go to the Windows Update site for
everything under Critical and Recommended: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

Another solution is to download and run this patch for Windows XP:
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...pdatesecdrv.exe

If that patch doesn't resolve the issue, there are several troubleshooting steps
outlined in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=228985 which have
proven successful thus far. Post back with any problems, and Good Luck! :-)
